United Kingdom-London: Event services

Event services. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport would like to commission a suitably experienced event management company to deliver the First World War centenary commemorative event in St Symphorien cemetery in August 2014.
The event, which will be filmed live by the BBC, will take place in a rural location with challenging access and with a setup that will be more time consuming than a classic event venue.

— project management,
— sourcing/purchasing of agreed materials,
— sourcing/engagement/management/liaison of agreed international artists and event participants,
— security fencing to event space,
— supervision of park and ride facility (buses being provided by local council),
— barrier fencing secure entry/exits,
